[QUOTE="LongTimeComing, post: 1084965, member: 45493"] There were dogs all over the place on my route. About a third of my deliveries were out in dirt-roaded country areas....farms, gigantic farm houses, corn fields, cows, etc etc. It's a way of life for those people out there to let their multiple, large dogs roam the property. Out of my 35 country stops, at least half of them had dogs roaming. Pit bulls, rott's, german shepherds, a couple of mutts, and god knows whatever other huge dog breeds. One of the first thing they asked me when I started that route was if I had a problem with dogs. No way, love them. Most of those dogs were used to being unchained and roaming about their property, so they were used to vehicles and the big brown truck showing up. But then there were the spaz-tastic maniac dogs that convinced me to stay in that package car and find the closest trunk-lid to place the package on....Those are the same maniac dogs that would run out from a line of trees and attempt to seemingly bite at my tires. I slammed my brakes the first few times, but after almost skidding off the dirt roads into deep ditches, screw em. Not that I agree with it from a moral standpoint or from a dog lovers perspective, but I have been told that "It's cheaper to replace Lucy, than to fix Lucy" [/QUOTE]
